A CONSIDERABLE TIME AGO.

of wind. The hair at this time was all
taken to the top of the head, and ar
ranged in three large bows. Attached
to the huge bonnet was bridal veil.
1t was no fiimSey affair, but a heavily
worked depending yarn of good, stout
white Brussels net. The patterns
darned in as ladies now do lace for un-
derclothes. There was a white silken
ribbon run into a hem, and tied around
the crown of the hat. All the fullnesS
ran to the left side and on the left
shoulder. This graceful thing was
gathered and carried punched in front,
with the bridal bouquet. This had a
piece of pasteboard covered with white
satin surrounding it. When we got
this bride built, sat on bundle of
straw and shed tears of laughter.
Those huge bonnetS passed away by de-
greeS. There was the ''Gypsey." with
two ears turned up, and the Cottage"
that you looked into like a telescope to
see the woman at the far end. Then
came the japanese craze, and hats like
saucerS were tied on and behind it,
One of the straw figures to-day is az
rayed in ''Ashes of roses silk, nine
breadths in the skirt, which is spread
out by hoop nearly three yards in cir
cumference, on each breadth a beautiful

Ian" OverSkirt (Which means two points
hanging on each hip and fin
ished by crimson velvet balls),
set off this beautiful cos
tune. The hair was brushed straight
back and knotted up; then a bag to
hang on over it was made of net with
huge amber beads and a lot of pad COW
cred with hair on the inside. This
reached from behind each ear to the
small of the back, and Oh top of the
head was worn little mat of silk and
straw, perfectly fiat and square,
trimmed about with bugle fringe and
measuring about five inches on each
side. Two ribbon strings tied this
thing onto the head, and the tie was
usually secured behind. This was the
swell hat bonnet in 1853 and 1857. The
next fiuke of fashion brought in the
coal scuttle, bonnet with big bag of
silk or lace where the crown should be.
and a stiff, sugar-scoop frame sailing
skyward. Into this the beauty of the
period said: Farewell, vain world,'' as
she retired. Oh, yes. museum, or
rather a congress of old fashions would

HOW TO BE PRETTY.

Some of the Recipes Which
Would-Be Beautiful Girls EN-
pIoy.
With the very latest notes of fashion
before me and my pen suspended, my
eyes fell upon an article which lay upon
my desk entitled, Gossip About Pretty
Girls" says writer in the Brooklyn
Eagle. 1t gives the mOdus operandi of
making ones self beautiful, and goes
on to tell how ruddy blonde of Wash
ington fastened her fat little hands to
the headboard on retiring so as to re-
duce the supply of blood and produce
the delicate complexion of an invalid
friend. To allow the mouth 10 be open
in sleep is simply outrageous. so, to as
sure an avoidance, many dainty miss
wOos Morpheus with her lower jaw and
head closely bound with a skate
strap. A narrow pillow placed YER
tically under the back and between the
shoulders encourages perfect stature,
so the good old bolster is consigned to
the comfort of retired bellies and beaus.
Disregarding the fair, fresh skin,
classic mold, and every law of proper
ton, and in Difference to an arbitrary
fashion which cannot fail to prove fatal
to beauty and health, our wasp-waiSted
bellies claim the necessity of slumber in
corsets to retain their acme of shapeli-
ness. "a mask of moist rye flour or
coating of cold creamsis as regularly as
summed as the night robe, and the fem
mime head dropped pilloward minus
foot baths are regular feature of the
toilet, as they tend to draw the blood
from the hands and face"
Every girl knows the value of beauty
and seeks to make herself as attractive
as possible, and should strive to pre-
serve all attractive qualities, but arti-
fetal devices only can conceal the raw
ages of time and dissipation. Still.
without true regard to the laws of
health, even the pOwder-boX, rouge
palet.and pencil, prove a shallow re-
source. The maid with a spirituelle
cast OF features and complexion clogs
the pores OF her fair skin with paint,
while the vigorous, plump, rosy beauty
fortunes her digestive apparatus with
acids and chalks. Each persists in pos
sessing attributes foreign to her consti-
tution.'
1t gives advice from zone who knows
in the handling of the eyes and goblet,
and says: "Grasp the handle of the cup
with the thumb and index fOrefinger,
the latter thrust just through against
the thumb and the other fingers open
and held out any way from the cup, save
the second, which should press against
the side to steady it. This give grace
full appearance to the hand. In holding
a goblet it should be grasped by the
thumb and the first two fingers around
the smallest portion of the standard, be-
tween the bowl and bottom, throwing
the last two fingers out well.'' Get
through this ordeal and your reputation
is assured.

Pretty, timid Hester, whose color
comes and goes when she ventures her
charming little remarks in the faintest
of voices, and, feels her heart beating,
like trip-hammer when she enters the,
ball room at mammals side, has not a
chance beside her lively cousin Madge.
That young woman is plain and awk-
ward, but thoroughly self-possessed.
All eyes turn toward her with approval
when she sails in, unabashed by her
conviction that she is the observed of
every observer, laughing, talking freely
and gayly to the beaux who surround
her, and receiving the lion of the even
ing when he is presented to her with
the same easy grace. AS for blush
ing, she couldn't achieve the faint
est bit of blush if she tried ever so
hard. She has not symptom of intel
lect, andso. the young men adore her.
She has unbounded confidence in her
self, and so she always has good time;
but poor Hester, trembling, speechleSS,
regards hersfew partners with uncer-
tainty and awe, which causes those SUI
peri0r beings to vote her the worst pill of
the lot, and after little to let her Sc
verely alone. Some dull old ladies and
gentlemen, 1t IS true, consider her mex
pressibly charming, adding that she
carries them back to the days of their
youth: an artist painted her as "Sim-
plicity in Tulle," and won deserved en-
0cmiums: c. Petrach Hobbs, the cele-
DRAFTED poet, has written book of SON
nets about her which, bound in gilded
velluni, had an immense sale. But she
never goes to party without getting
aWfuliy left and has never been seen
on Commonwealth avenue Sunday
after church except with her own papa.
By this time her misguided parents
have bitterly regretted the manner of
her bringing up, and long to replace her
modesty with boldness, her diffidence
with calm dissatisfaction But the
mischief is done. 1t is too late Hester
is a dismal failure and Madge the sue
cess of the season, with her name in a
dozen newspaper paragraphs every Sun

DIFFERENCE IN GIRLS.
How the Modern Maiden Differs
From Her Shyer Sister of Other

Days.
There used to be a time-our grand
fathers and grandmothers recollect it, if
we do not-says the Boston Herald,
when the ideal young woman who fig
ured as heroine in a thousand novels
was shy, simple thing, trembling at
the mere thought of the great world, and
shrinking from notice as the sensitive
plant from rude touch. Hers was
sweet, retiring nature. Like Words
worth's Lucy, she lived unknown, quite
content to waste her sweetness on
the the desert air, until some tray
eler or passer-by, more curious than the
rest, stopped for a while to study her
more closely, and discovered to his won
der and admiration wealth of hidden
charms. Nothing distressed her so
much as open praise and comment.
How poorly do those weak creatures
contrast with the brilliant bellies who
brighten our later existence and render
life a joy forever! Simplicity and SEN
sitiveness are entirely out of place in
the world of to day; and, if any of us
happen to be old-faShioned enough to
have brought up our daughters without
impreSsing that fact upon them, we
ought to be ashamed of ourselves, that's
all. The violet is out of favor in the

1t is proposed to give this lot, free of any
incumbrance, to some baby who is for
tunate enough to hold the lucky num-
Der. The deed will be made to the pa

A NOBLE NAME.

The name that glorifies its time;
A goodly heritage that will,
Through fresh inheritors, distill
Desire to widen wisdom's path
Virtue, SO given, to him who hath
IT'S not in vain that vernal pride
Grows emulous of some ghostly guide
Who, long ago, the faith upbore
That loyal deed that life is'more;
Not vain it is, sons feel the fires
Of bravery quicken through brave sires.
A lineage old, of lustre new,
Moss-grown, yet green with later dew,
This is the glory would sing,

A name of very present worth.
